HARDY FLOWERING PLANTS; OR THOSE THAT ARE SOMEWHAT TENDER, BUT MAY STILL BE CULTIVATED

IN A WARM BORDER, NEEDING ONLY A MAT, OR A GARDEN POT,

PLACED OVER THEM IN SEVERE FROST ;

SOME WILL EVEN REQUIRE BOTH EXPEDIENTS.

We intend, in the succeeding Volumes, to introduce some of Mr. Knight's showy New Holland Plants, or those from other Collections ; as the greater part of them will succeed well by the side of a wall, in a warm border, with no other protection than a mat, in severe frost ; or if some straw, or rushes, are sowed inside of it, all the better; the bottom of the plant being tied round with dry hay, or straw, to keep the bark from cracking with the frost ; by this means the beautiful productions of New Holland, as well as Mexico, Chile, Chiloe, the Straits of Magellan, and Peru, may be cultivated with success ; and the Cape Bulbs will succeed well with no other protec-tion than a mat, in severe weather; or the Bulbs may be taken up in Autumn, and kept dry through the Winter, and planted out again in Spring.

The present Work includes the most beautiful Annuals, Perennials, and Flower-ing Shrubs, with their Scientific and English Names, Accentuations, and Explana-tions of the Generic Names, best method of Cultivation and Propagation, the Heights they generally attain, their times of Flowering, or any Information respecting them that may be considered of importance,

Obs. In my rambles after Narcissi in the Nursery Gardens near Lon-don, I detected this species going out of bloom in the open ground of the Nursery of Messrs. Allen and Co., in the Five Fields, King's Road ; who, when I expressed a desire to publish it as a new spe-cies, immediately presented it to me, with a view of aiding me in my long-tried and well-known endea-vours to elucidate these charming and fragrantplants; and ever friend-ly to the science of Botany, they have often so assisted me before.

Obs. Thy. fine large flowered plants of this sof tion are known to Gardeners by the several names of " Bazleman major, medics, minor, sulphureus et Welts." The last two, which ap-pear to be distinct species, I have never yet possessed, but taken up on the authorities abovementioned, with a special view towards inducing all lovers of these plants to search for them. They are nearest allied to H. flexi j7 ora above, and should per-haps have preceded it.

Ohs. I think there are many varieties of this plant in gardens, and that one of them, whose flowers have the (perhaps unique) quality of dyeing off with tints of dull or dirty purple colour, have been found apparently wild in two different counties of England ; and I have seen plants from both, growing in the rich Nur-sery at Epsom. If distinct, it may be called rubescens. •

Obs. I have seen in Messrs. Young's fine Nursery, at Epsom, 2 semi-double (plenic,oronce) varieties of a plant, extremely near to this, but rather paler; and two more as large again, but similar. Few points amongst monocotyledonous plants are more difficult, than to ascertain the true parents of double varieties by study only. They may become single, and may again become double. They are still varieties from seed in every stage.

POSTSCRIPT.

For the liberal presentation both of many Roots and Specimens, without which the foregoing Enumeration of Narcissman Plants could not have been completed, I beg leave very much to thank the following Royal, and Public Gardens, Private Gentlemen, and Nurserymen. -

The Royal Gardens of Kew. The Horticultural Garden at Turnham Green. The Botanic Garden at Bury St. Edmonds. Chelsea Physic Garden. The Rev. W. T. Bree, Rector of Allesly, near Coventry. The Rev. H. T. Ellicomb, Vicar of Bitton, near Bath. Messrs. Loddiges, of Hackney. Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and Milne, Fulham. Messrs. Youngs, Epsom, Surry. Messrs. Allen, and Co., King's Road, Chelsea. Mr. Colvill, King's Road, Chelsea. Mr. Knight, King's Road, Chelsea. Mr. Tate, Sloane Street, Chelsea. Mr. Robert Sweet, Cook's Ground, Chelsea. Mr. John Denson, junior, late Curator of the Bury Botanic Garden. Mr. William Pamplin, Lavender Hill Nursery, Wandsworth Road.

In the course of the above Enumeration, will be found all the Species and Varieties contained in the just published Seventh Volume of Schulte's celebrated edition of Linnaus's Systema Vegetabilium, and all, as far as practicable, duly appreciated; nearly all the Species and Varieties of the faithful Parkinson, are likewise given ; a few from the less accurate B ortus Esystettensis ; the rare Campi Elysii of Rudbeck ; Barrellier's Icones ; the Florilegium of Swertius ; Trew's Florae Imagines ; the The-atrum Florae ; Madam Merian's Icones; and many other works.

1 have carefully preserved Specimens of almost the whole; and they will be hereafter my Vouchers for the truth.

The Genera of this group of Plants here, and heretofore proposed by me, are very natural; and though many years have elapsed without their having been adopted by others ; so much the better it is, for my future reputation ; for adopted they must be ; and then will be proved, my having seen just so far, before my competitors.

On the other hand, half a century's experience constantly amongst the living Plants, might be expected to have effected more. But, " non omnia, possumus omnes."

The characters I have given throughout, are short, but they are the result of experience, and I know their validity.

" His L.B. utere mecum ; dum alii plura melioraque sistant."
